The most important thing we do is help people! We supported many great projects in 2011. The Rally Against Hunger supported the Corpus Christi Food Bank. The Refuge of Hope provides resources for persons with unplanned pregnancies. The Shriners and Al Amin Shrine provide healthcare to needy kids. A rummage sale helped victims of the Bastrop fires. The Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Department protects lives and property from fire danger. The Bokenkamp Fashion Show provides help for children far from home. A BarBQ benefit helped a cancer patient. The Community Table provides meals monthly in Rockport. The Sinton Food Pantry helps feed the poor in their community. Crop Walk helps feed the hungry. Thanksgiving baskets provide food and encouragement for the poor. We supported two projects to encourage military personnel far from home. We helped provide Christmas gifts for foster kids. See? We helped do a lot of good this past year!
